We re the largest musical instrument maker in the world, and have been at it for 125 years. All of that experience and know-how is behind the Series, giving you sonic quality that rivals competing models costing twice as much.

Playability and Feel that Only a Drum Maker Can Provide With more than 45 years in the drum business we know just how important playability can be.

A USB-MIDI jack lets you connect to a computer to control VSTi drum sound libraries and record directly to Cubase* or similar DAW software. You can also import new songs via the Musicsoft Downloader* software for use with the training functions. * Cubase and VSTi software not included.
